It's also (AIUI) that Australian workers are paid a reasonably fair wage, even if they're moving packages in a warehouse, delivering parcels or floor staff in a shop.

Minimum wage in Australia is double that in the USA.

Here in Denmark, the minimum wage is even higher (2.5 times USA plus pension) and the vacuum more expensive than in Australia.



I don't think that would even come close to explaining this difference. But as an Australian, yeah it's a thing.
